Our last 6 games have been decided by a total of 24 points. My higher math skills tells me that's an average of 4 points.

The Lions game came down to the last half a minute. The 49ers game was close. We took the lead on the Patriots with about a minute left and held on. The Panthers game was close and we had to absorb the goal line stand. We were driving to try and win in the last minute against the Rams. Packers game -- THE final play.

Man, I don't know about you all -- but I could seriously use a 30-10 kind of game this Sunday! Great time for a pick-six or a fumble return score, or even Leon to bust one out.

There's no reason the Hawks shouldn't have another Dallas type game this Sunday. Come out with their hair on fire, get a comfortable lead, then pound the crap out of the Vikings D in the 2nd half by running Lynch down their throat.

If the game were in Minneapolis I'd expect an ugly one-possession game.

But lucky for us it's not. I really think Christian Ponder is in for a long day... especially if we jump out to an early lead.

Give the dude a chance and don't overreact or overthink preseason. Go Hawks. Lacy will rush for 1,100 and 10TDs. Bend the knee.

were in for a long day if we dont disrupt harvin at the line of scrimmage.. the vikings accel in the one area our defense really sucks.. the short passing game.. luckily this is largely timing based so CROWD NOISE can really have an impact here.. 12th man needs to be in full effect.

Ugghhh....I don't play that psychobable mumbo jumbo superstition crap. Sorry. In fact, I have a good track record of turning the tide! I mentioned that Miller had yet to have a TD as a Seahawk before the Lions game. DONE. Earlier this season I brought up how long it had been since any Seahawk TE had scored a TD, before the Cowboys game...and McCoy scored.

I'm not sure about Lynch... he has not looked 100%, especially on that TD run of his. He looked like he was having some trouble with his back, and we barely saw him after that. We could see more Turbin, and while he has looked good, I'm not sure he can take care of this running game. This team is relying much more heavily on the pass as of late, and you know what, I'm okay with that. Make it happen, Russell.

He could be having trouble with his back, but I'd like to think it is just because he has no idea how to run without bracing for running over 3+ defenders. :-)
